Proclamation No. 26-02
Proclaiming the month of February 2026 as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and Urging all Residents of Mendota to Work Together to End the Cycle of Violence in our Community
WHEREAS, each year, an estimated 1 in 3 teens is physically, emotionally, or verbally abused by a dating partner; and
WHEREAS, survivors of teen dating violence have increased risk for truancy, dropout, teen pregnancy, suicide, developing eating disorders, and engaging in other harmful behaviors such as use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; and
WHEREAS, college students experience unique relationship dynamics during a critical period of independence and identity development, and research shows that dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking occur at disproportionately high rates among college-aged individuals, impacting students’ academic success, mental health, and overall well-being, underscoring the importance of empowering students to recognize unhealthy or abusive behaviors and seek support to foster safer campuses and communities; and
WHEREAS, parents and guardians are encouraged to speak to their teens about healthy relationships, boundaries, and dangers of teen dating violence; and WHEREAS, each February, the formal recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month allows the community to acknowledge and show their support for survivors and advocates to end of the cycle of abuse through education; and
WHEREAS, Wear Orange Day, February 10, is a national day dedicated to raising awareness on teen dating violence, to supporting survivors, and to preventing abuse before it starts; and WHEREAS, a partnership with schools across Fresno County emerged to directly confront this crisis and are achieving success. The Marjaree Mason Center, along with its kNOw MORE® Peer Educators, are helping in the effort to prevent and end teen dating violence. We must recognize the compassion and dedication of these professionals and students across Fresno County high schools and middle schools and increase public understanding of this important problem.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Mendota, do hereby proclaim the month of February 2026 as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and urge all citizens of Mendota to work together to end the cycle of violence in our community.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING FINAL PAYMENT OF RETENTION TO MARINA LANDSCAPE, INC. FOR THE ROJAS-PIERCE PARK EXPANSION PHASE III – NEW SOCCER FIELD IRRIGATION &
TURF PROJECT
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2026
ISSUE
Should the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-06, authorizing final payment of retention to Marina Landscape, Inc. for the Rojas-Pierce Park Expansion Phase III – New Soccer Field Irrigation & Turf project?
BACKGROUND
Providing additional fields for residents and visitors to play soccer has been a priority for the City of Mendota (“City”) for many years. The City’s Public Works Department has graded a new soccer field to the west of the existing soccer field constructed in 2019 at Rojas-Pierce Park.
The City has entered into an agreement with the County of Fresno for Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funding for the Phase III expansion of Rojas-Pierce Park which includes the new fencing, irrigation, turf and sidewalk along Smoot Avenue.
Resolution No. 25-34 authorized the award of the construction contract to Marina Landscape, Inc. On December 22, 2025 the project was found to be substantially complete and on January 15, 2026 the Notice of Completion was recorded by the Fresno County Recorder (Doc 2026- 0003406).
Following recordation of the Notice of Completion, a 35-day waiting period commenced during which any stop notices or liens may be filed against the contractor.
ANALYSIS
To the best of staff’s knowledge, no liens or stop notices have been filed prior to nor during the 35-day waiting period; therefore, payment of the retention may be made in full.
FISCAL IMPACT
Final payment, including retention ($22,241.11) was included in the fee of the awarded contract and 93% will reimbursed by CDBG funds from Fresno County. This project will not impact the General Fund.
2 RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-06, authorizing final payment of retention to Marina Landscape, Inc. for the Rojas-Pierce Park Expansion Phase III – New Soccer Field Irrigation & Turf project.

1 AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CELESTE CABRERA-GARCIA, CITY CLERK
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE CITY OF MENDOTA’S FACILITY USE POLICY
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2026
ISSUE
Shall the City Council discuss and consider proposed updates to the City of Mendota’s Facility Use Policy?
BACKGROUND
At its regular meeting on September 2, 2025, the City Council discussed potential updates to the City of Mendota’s (“City”) Facility Use Policy to ensure equitable access to the soccer fields and maintain their condition. Following that discussion, the City Council directed staff to incorporate the following changes to the policy, specifically related to soccer field reservations:
1. Priority Group Classifications
Update the priority system used to allocate and approve Facility Use Permits as follows:
a. City-hosted and co-hosted events
b. Local applicants (must provide proof of Mendota residency) c. Non-local applicants
2. Field Availability
Limit soccer field reservations to Saturdays and Sundays for official games only (no practices permitted). Applicants must submit a game schedule as part of their application.
Fields will remain closed annually from December through February for maintenance.
3. Reservation Process
Replace the quarterly reservation system with a new process that includes:
a. Three-hour reservation blocks per field, with designated open-play periods. b. One-weekend reservations only; applicants must submit separate Facility Use Applications for each weekend, subject to the following conditions:
i. Applications must be submitted in-person or via email at least ten (10) business days in advance, by 5pm on the second Monday prior to the requested weekend. ii. Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis according to the submission time on the Monday deadline.
iii. Applicants may reserve only one field at a time and up to two (2) reservation blocks.
If reservation blocks remain available after the initial processing, the City will offer them to applicants who submitted by the Monday deadline. 2 iv. Tournament requests will also be processed on a first-come, first-served basis according to the submission time on the Monday deadline.
4. Cancellations and Penalties
To prevent underuse, applicants must notify the City at least five (5) business days prior to their approved use (the Monday before the scheduled weekend) if they will not utilize the field. Failure to notify the City will result in penalties as outlined in the Facility Use Policy.
In addition, the City Council requested the following updates applicable to all City facilities:
1. Alcohol Policy
Establish a zero-tolerance policy for the sale or consumption of alcohol at any facility without prior City approval and required licensing. This policy will be clearly stated in the Facility Use Application, and applicants will be required to initial the acknowledgment.
2. Cancellation Notice Requirement
For all approved Facility Uses (excluding soccer fields), applicants must notify the City at least 72 hours before the scheduled use if they will not utilize the facility. Failure to notify the City will result in penalties as outlined in the Facility Use Policy.
3. Designated Representatives: Applicants must specify authorized representatives in their Facility Use Applications. At least one designated representative must be present at the reserved facility for the entirety of the approved use to ensure compliance with all Conditions of Approval.
The City Council also discussed potential adjustments to facility rental fees and requested an overview of fees collected in 2024. That overview is attached for reference.
Following the meeting, staff incorporated the requested changes into the Facility Use Policy and prepared an overview of 2024 facility use fees for Council review.
ANALYSIS
Staff has revised the Facility Use Policy to reflect the new soccer field reservation process and additional Citywide policy modifications. The following items remain for Council direction and consideration:
• Deadline for Meeting Conditions of Approval:
Staff recommends setting the deadline for satisfying all conditions of approval to the second Friday prior to the start of the use of any general facilities, and the second Friday before the weekend use for soccer fields.
• Facility Use Fee Schedule:
Modifications to the existing fee schedule are still to be determined. 3 • Updating Section related to major Penalties
Staff also requests that the City Council consider updating the section related to major penalties (as currently shown) to suit short-term facility uses.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with reviewing and discussing the proposed updates.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss the proposed changes to the City of Mendota’s Facility Use Policy and, if deemed appropriate, approve the updated policy by adopting Resolution No. 26-05.
Attachments:
1. Redline of Draft Updated Facility Use Policy

Policy No. 24-02
14 10.1. Purpose of Facility Use Fee Schedule. As the City continues to grow and facilities age, the City must develop a financial system to support our community investment while maintaining the high level of service we currently provide. The City will continue to provide basic services funded entirely by general taxpayers; however, those benefiting from special services (which create additional City expenses) must contribute financially. The City acknowledges that the community benefits when youth/adults are engaged in sports activities. The Facility Use Fee Schedule associated with the use of City Facilities is intended for the participants to supplement, rather that supplant the investment of the general taxpayers. The Facility Use Fee Schedule strives to:
• Amortize the capital investment and cover maintenance/operational costs of a field. • Pay for and augment operation/maintenance costs for a field where tax appropriations support the basic service.
• Control use of the field.
• Assess a portion of the costs of the field to users who may not be tax supporters. • Enable the Department to provide fields for which funds might not otherwise be available.
The primary goal of this purpose statement is to develop an understanding that the pricing of services is a conscious procedure that requires continual investigation and review by the City.
10.2. Payment of Fees and Deposits Required. Permittees are required to pay the fees and deposits necessary prior to using the requested Facility(ies). The fees and deposits required for the facility use will be listed on the Facility Use Permit. Permittees must pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies). If Permittees fail to pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies), there will be a 10% late fee for each day fees are not paid. All future Facility Use Applications will not be allowed/approved until all fees are paid.
The City will assign the appropriate fees and deposits in accordance with the City’s Facility Use Fee Schedule (as attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), City Administrative Policy No. 2004.01 (Event Permit For Non-Profit Organizations), the City’s Administrative Policy regarding City Participation in Community Events, and any other applicable City fee schedules, policies, and procedures.
If a Permittee forfeits their approved used in accordance with subsection 9.1.6 of this Policy and elects to reapply for the use, the Permittee will be required to pay all deposits/fees once again. Any applicable deposits/fees will not carry over.
10.3. Refunds.
10.3.1. Refunds due to Cancellation of Event/Activity. For activities cancelled by the Permittee five (5) business days or more in advance, field user will be refunded 100% of fees paid. For activities cancelled by the field user less than five (5) business days in advance, field user will be refunded 50% of fees paid.
10.3.2. Refund of Deposit. Deposits will be refunded if the Permittee abides by this Policy, the Conditions of Approval listed in the Facility Use Permit, as well as all pertinent City codes. The deposit will not be refunded if the Permittee fails to abide by the aforementioned regulations or if damage is done to the Faciltiy(ies). If applicable, deposits will be refunded to the Permittee in the form of a check within 30 calendar days following the last day of the facility use. If the deposit will not be refunded (or a portion thereof), the City will notify the Permittee in writing with the reasons for which the deposit (or a portion thereof) is being withheld.
10.3.3. No Deposit Carry Over. Deposits may not be carried over. Permittees must submit deposits for each separate Facility Use Permit.

16 11.3. Facility Modifications. Requests to modify or improve any City field shall be submitted in writing to the City for review and consideration. No permanent structures or equipment shall be erected on City Facilities unless approved by the City and is dedicated for community use. Additionally, Permittees may not temporarily store their equipment or belongings in/at any City Facilities, unless approved by the City. A request to modify or improve a Facility does not constitute approval. Approval will be provided in the form of a written document and will outline the scope of the modifications as approved.
11.4. Turf Preservation. Cooperation is needed for the preservation of the turf of City Facilities by following these guidelines:
• Field use, especially practices, should be conducted in such a way that the action takes place on different sections of turf, thus reducing excessive turf damage in one area. Rotate use of areas, and when possible, stay off fringe or bare areas to limit erosion and further damage. • Replace turf divots at end of each day to help re-root grass. • No tarps or material which may damage the grass may be placed on the turf. Any turf coverings used must be made of breathable material.
• Do not use fields during or after heavy rain, or when wet or muddy (see inclement weather policy). • Soccer practices are not to be held on the infield area of a softball or baseball diamond. • Remove all equipment at the conclusion of each day.
• Do not overcrowd fields by scheduling multiple games in areas reserved. Allow a distance between fields for safe passage of spectators and participants.
• Report hazards to Mendota City Hall at (559) 655-3291. • Report immediate emergencies (broken water lines, gushing sprinkler heads, etc.) to the City’s designated employee. When calling, be prepared to fully identify yourself, your location (park/school), and the specific nature of the emergency so that staff can bring the appropriate repair equipment. • Do not drive or park cars, motorcycles, or other motorized vehicles on turf areas, unless given written authorization by the City.

• Overuse of a field
• Unsafe conditions

Failure to comply may result in the retention of the Permittee’s deposit, and/or assessment of penalties as described in Section 11.6.
9.2.2.4. Tournaments. Tournaments hosted by for-profit Permittees will be required to pay a vendor fee for each vendor ($50/vendor) as outlined in the Facility Use Fee Schedule. Tournaments hosted by non-profit Organizations do not have to pay a vendor fee. All vendors will be required to obtain a City business license and any other permits and licenses required by the City and this Policy.
9.3. Failure to Satisfy Conditions of Approval. Failure by the Permittee to satisfy all conditions of approval prior to the start of the planned Event/ Activity will result in the forfeiture of the Facility Use Permit. The Permittee will be required to resubmit a Facility Use Application.
10. FACILITY USE FEES AND DEPOSITS.
10.1. Purpose of Facility Use Fee Schedule. As the City continues to grow and facilities age, the City must develop a financial system to support our community investment while maintaining the high level of service we currently provide. The City will continue to provide basic services funded entirely by general taxpayers; however, those benefiting from special services (which create additional City expenses) must contribute financially. The City acknowledges that the community benefits when youth/adults are engaged in sports activities. The Facility Use Fee Schedule associated with the use of City Facilities is intended for the participants to supplement, rather that supplant the investment of the general taxpayers. The Facility Use Fee Schedule strives to:
• Amortize the capital investment and cover maintenance/operational costs of a field. • Pay for and augment operation/maintenance costs for a field where tax appropriations support the basic service.
• Control use of the field.
• Assess a portion of the costs of the field to users who may not be tax supporters. • Enable the Department to provide fields for which funds might not otherwise be available.
The primary goal of this purpose statement is to develop an understanding that the pricing of services is a conscious procedure that requires continual investigation and review by the City.
10.2. Payment of Fees and Deposits Required. Permittees are required to pay the fees and deposits necessary prior to using the requested Facility(ies). The fees and deposits required for the facility use will be listed on the Facility Use Permit. Permittees must pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies). If Permittees fail to pay all fees and deposits prior to the use of the Facility(ies), there will be a 10% late fee for each day fees are not paid. All future Facility Use Applications will not be allowed/approved until all fees are paid.
The City will assign the appropriate fees and deposits in accordance with the City’s Facility Use Fee Schedule (as attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), City Administrative Policy No. 2004.01 (Event Permit For Non-Profit Organizations), the City’s Administrative Policy regarding City Participation in Community Events, and any other applicable City fee schedules, policies, and procedures.
If a Permittee forfeits their approved used in accordance with subsection 9.1.6 of this Policy and elects to reapply for the use, the Permittee will be required to pay all deposits/fees once again. Any applicable deposits/fees will not carry over.
10.3. Refunds.
Policy No. 24-02
14 10.3.1. Refunds due to Cancellation of Event/Activity. For activities cancelled by the Permittee five (5) business days or more in advance, field user will be refunded 100% of fees paid. For activities cancelled by the field user less than five (5) business days in advance, field user will be refunded 50% of fees paid.
10.3.2. Refund of Deposit. Deposits will be refunded if the Permittee abides by this Policy, the Conditions of Approval listed in the Facility Use Permit, as well as all pertinent City codes. The deposit will not be refunded if the Permittee fails to abide by the aforementioned regulations or if damage is done to the Faciltiy(ies). If applicable, deposits will be refunded to the Permittee in the form of a check within 30 calendar days following the last day of the facility use. If the deposit will not be refunded (or a portion thereof), the City will notify the Permittee in writing with the reasons for which the deposit (or a portion thereof) is being withheld.
10.3.3. No Deposit Carry Over. Deposits may not be carried over. Permittees must submit deposits for each separate Facility Use Permit.
11. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
11.1. City Closure of Facilities. The City reserves the right to set aside additional time during the year for turf recovery, improvement, and maintenance. Furthermore, the City reserves the right to cancel or suspend Facility Use Permits when field conditions could result in injury to players or cause damage to the Facilities. Permits may also be cancelled when the health and safety of participants are threatened due to impending conditions, including but not limited to, heavy rains, smog alerts or pesticide application.
11.2. Inclement Weather. During inclement weather, the City’s maintenance staff will assess the playability of all City Facilities, including sports fields, to determine if use will occur. The Director or designated representative shall have the authority to close any/all fields within the City.
11.2.1. Criteria for Establishing Fields Playability. The following information is the City’s procedures regarding the use of fields in wet conditions. These procedures apply to all sports and activities conducted on a grass field, turf area, or infield:
Baseball and Softball In-Fields
Infields will be deemed unsafe and unplayable when any of the following conditions are present:
• There is standing water within the base paths
• Your feet slip as you walk through the infield
• The depth of your footprint is greater than one half inch • Any of the above conditions are present within the pitching area Soccer, Baseball and Softball Outfields – Turf
Outfields and turf area will be deemed unsafe and unplayable when any of the following conditions are present:
• There is standing water within the majority of a single playing position (playing positions will be determined based on the user group)
• Your feet suction to the ground as you walk within the majority of a single playing position • Your footprints fill with water in the majority of a single playing position • The depth of your footprint is greater than one inch in the majority of a single playing position • Grass can be easily dislodged from the fields during play Policy No. 24-02
15 The following procedures are to be followed regarding the use of fields when there has been rain, overwatering, or other serious weather conditions:
• If it has rained within the preceding 24 hours, Permittees scheduled to use public fields must call the City at (559) 655-3291. City personnel will make determination of field conditions/closures, and the decisions are not negotiable.
• The City may declare a field closed and reopening subject to a re-inspection. Conditions set forth as a result of there-inspection of the field should be evaluated by the Permittee at practice/game time for playability. The Permittee must employ the playability criteria used by City staff. • Permittees are expected to make educated, responsible decisions regarding field condition playability. The groups should employ the playability criteria used by City staff and take into consideration the current and future quality of the turf.
• Persons witnessing misuse of fields by other scheduled or unscheduled users are advised to contact the Mendota Police Department at (559) 600-3111 or Mendota City Hall at (559) 655-3291 (during regular working hours only).
• Misue/Use of Facility during wet conditions shall result in the assessments of penalties as described in Section 11.6 of this Policy. It is the Permittee’s responsibility to ensure that all coaches/parents understand and enforce this policy.
11.3. Facility Modifications. Requests to modify or improve any City field shall be submitted in writing to the City for review and consideration. No permanent structures or equipment shall be erected on City Facilities unless approved by the City and is dedicated for community use. Additionally, Permittees may not temporarily store their equipment or belongings in/at any City Facilities, unless approved by the City. A request to modify or improve a Facility does not constitute approval. Approval will be provided in the form of a written document and will outline the scope of the modifications as approved.
11.4. Turf Preservation. Cooperation is needed for the preservation of the turf of City Facilities by following these guidelines:
• Field use, especially practices, should be conducted in such a way that the action takes place on different sections of turf, thus reducing excessive turf damage in one area. Rotate use of areas, and when possible, stay off fringe or bare areas to limit erosion and further damage. • Replace turf divots at end of each day to help re-root grass. • No tarps or material which may damage the grass may be placed on the turf. Any turf coverings used must be made of breathable material.
• Do not use fields during or after heavy rain, or when wet or muddy (see inclement weather policy). • Soccer practices are not to be held on the infield area of a softball or baseball diamond. • Remove all equipment at the conclusion of each day.
• Do not overcrowd fields by scheduling multiple games in areas reserved. Allow a distance between fields for safe passage of spectators and participants.
• Report hazards to Mendota City Hall at (559) 655-3291. • Report immediate emergencies (broken water lines, gushing sprinkler heads, etc.) to the City’s designated employee. When calling, be prepared to fully identify yourself, your location (park/school), and the specific nature of the emergency so that staff can bring the appropriate repair equipment. • Do not drive or park cars, motorcycles, or other motorized vehicles on turf areas, unless given written authorization by the City.
11.5. Permit Cancellation. The City reserves the right to cancel any Facility Use Permits for any of the following reasons:
Policy No. 24-02
16 • It conflicts with any City sponsored league, program, activity or event • Maintenance needs/issues
• Overuse of a field
• Unsafe conditions
In these cases, all attempts will be made to provide advance notice and to schedule an alternate location. In the event of an emergency, when only short or no notice can be afforded, groups must cooperate with the cancellation so as not to risk loss of facility use privileges. If there are no alternate Facilities to accommodate the use, the City is not obligated to provide an alternate solution.
11.6. Penalties for Facility Use Permit Violations
The City utilizes two separate penalty procedures for Facility Use Permit Violations, depending on the severity of the violation.
11.6.1. Minor Violations. Minor violations include any violations of this Policy. Penalties for minor violations include:
